turning to the deficit the numbers are in the 2012 budget deficit is actually slightly better than expected. it was only 1.1 dollars, versus $1.1 trillion deficit. what a deal! it is a trillion dollars for every year president obama has been in office. we'll crunch the number to see what they mean for the average taxpayer. we have gretchen hamel from public notice. thanks for coming back on the program. it is a staggering number. not as horrible as it could have been. how would you characterize it? >> i think it is pretty bad. 42 out of the 4 months the president has been in office he has run a deficit. i think when we're $16 trillion in debt it has an effect on the economy. even most economists say when the debt is greater than 90% of the gdp you start to see a slowing. right now our debt is over 100% of our gdp. melissa: break down why you see the slowing. i think when we talk about these numbers to the average person it sounds like monopoly money. it is such a huge number you could never break it back. if you break it down, 3500 per person. 3468 to be exact. during the time president oba

tell me how much of a contribution, most people who look at the deficit including boults simpson said we have to have a significant reduction and a new way of looking at those things which have been part of the assumption of people. >> that's right. it turns out that social security is not a big problem. >> change the age. >> change its age a little bit, change the contribution a little bit. we can put that on. so that is something i think we can solve fairly easily and should not be at the core of the debate. the health-care programs are a significant concern. in fact, one of the interesting things is that if we had a health-care system that was as efficient as some of the european health-care systems, we would have no deficit. so that in fact it's the inefficiency of our health-care system that is a major cause of our deficits. so my mind our focus should be -- >> to make it more efficient. >> and the health-care reform passed by the congress did it do that. >> it was a move in the right direction. >> didn't go far enough. >> it didn't go far enough. and some of the things are going

we have a big deficit. when senator brown and other republicans take the grover norquist pledge, and they say they will not raise money for millionaires and billionaires, they will not close the oil subsidies, what they are saying is they are just not serious about cutting the deficit, bringing the budget back into alignment. that means we will trigger across-the-board cuts. those cuts for the military is the worst possible way we could go. it is bad for the country. it is that for us here in massachusetts. here is why. it keeps lopping off 10%, 15%. we need to use this opportunity to think about the military we need going forward in the 21st century. here is what i am prepared to do. i am prepared to get out there and fight, to talk about what the c5 galaxy means. this is the place where we have giant planes and take big groups and big equipment and have disaster relief all run the world. that is why there should not be a penny of cuts there. the cuts need to be in places like the standing army. we do not
